What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture therapy is a comprehensive healthcare system that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It can be used to treat acute or chronic ailments, strengthen the immune system, and relieve pain.

After gathering information about your medical history, feeling your pulse and looking at your tongue, an Acupuncturist inserts extremely fine, stainless steel, sterile needles into specific points along the meridians (energetic pathways) of your body. The insertion of needles signals the body to correct imbalances in the flow of Qi (life energy), and restore health and well-being.

Other techniques that are used during treatment include: Moxibustion, Cupping, and Electrostim and Microstim. Acupuncturists also incorporate nutritional and lifestyle counseling based on the principles of Oriental Medicine.
